Spirit Guide / WIP / How do you know when art is finished?

avatar

I currently have a number of artworks that are still in the WIP phase. Depending on my mood of the day I can play with a WIP and change layers, add, delete etc. and make something entirely different. I may like it that day, for that specific mood but then change my mind the next day and prefer the previous version. I can be so fickle about my art 😂

Usually I just decide to publish in one ff those moments where I get that satisfied feeling, otherwise I would probably never end up sharing anything.

Here is the current full WIP:

How do I know?

I don't. A friend of mine here once told me art is never finished, just abandoned at the right time. Something like that. Once I heard that, I stopped questioning it.

Wise words of that friend of yours. I am still working on knowing when to abandon ship.

Did you write this for me? ;<)

I can so relate to this, it's almost painful.

It seems like my art - nowadays, 'my books', are always in the WIP phase.

This is one of the reasons why I tend to - and love to - share my creative process ( it's neverending and I feel I would lose my audience if they had to wait for the finished product )

Lately, I have been on a mission to defeat my crippling perfectionism ( more on that in today's post and those I wrote in the last two weeks or so ).

Let's see what this will lead to. Today sure was a good day.

Sending you a creative hug :<)

P.S. I love this WIP of yours!!

Lol yeah it's weird, sometimes I get very decisive and just decide it's done and release it into the world, if I don't it just lingers forever haha, best of luck on beating the perfection demon and creative hugs back!

I too have moods so if I am not in the mood, I'll just take it easy for the day. By the way, I like your art concepts! Love the eyes, Julia!

How to know when we're finished... it's almost never finished feeling, but then we might reach a state of impatience and feel eager to pursue new interests?
Also depends on the number of pumpkins the piece requires.
In my pumpkin opinion your piece looks complete. Looks like you could call it done. That scene is all occurring inside of a giant pumpkin, right? I think my cousin had similar parasite or something. Looks awesome.
